Download or read book The Function of Supervision in Assisting Marginal and Effective Teachers written by Philip A. Livelsberger and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study investigated the function of supervision in assisting marginal teachers and promoting growth in effective teachers. A public school district located in South Central Pennsylvania was the site of the study. Qualitative information was gathered from a survey, focus group discussions, and individual interviews. One hundred and four tenured teachers completed a survey. Three focus groups consisting of eight participants each participated in the focus group discussions. Ten tenured teachers were interviewed. The research produced the following findings: marginal teachers are characterized as unprepared and unorganized while effective teachers are depicted as prepared and organized. Teachers viewed the function of supervision as a method to provide guidance and support to teachers, improve the quality of instruction, identify teacher weaknesses, and provide data and strategies. Strategies to assist teachers noted in the research were: coaching/mentoring, walk-throughs, allowing teachers to be active participants in the supervision process, and relevant professional development. The main conclusions drawn from the research were that teachers' perceptions of the function of supervision were similar to the existing research data. However, the way supervision was being implemented in the district used in this study lacked collegiality, collaboration, and peer interactions. The study participants cited these facts as methods they believed would improve the supervision process in the district. This research provided a view of one district's need to improve the existing supervision process to provide opportunities for teachers to improve their practices in the classroom and participate in activities which will allow them to grow as a professional.

Download or read book Teacher Evaluation to Enhance Professional Practice written by Charlotte Danielson and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2000-07-15 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher evaluation--a term that brings fear, anticipation, stress, anxiety, or even boredom to the hearts of teachers and administrators everywhere. How can we reinvent teacher evaluation so that it really makes a difference--so that everyone in school benefits from it, so that teachers and administrators learn from it, so that students succeed as a result of it? The bad news is that many schools and districts seem to be stuck in old ruts, involving The Observation, The Behavior Checklist, and The Conference. The good news is that many districts have paved the way for teacher evaluation to actually become professional development, by using a three-track evaluation system: * Track I, for beginning teachers, promotes growth and new learning through mentoring, frequent observations, and support systems. * Track II, for tenured teachers--that is, most teachers in the system--promotes professional learning experiences through self-assessment, goal setting, data collection, formative evaluations, study groups, action plans, and evaluation in which teachers play an active role. * Track III, for tenured teachers needing assistance, focuses on remediating difficulties and recommending further action. More good news: Through concrete examples, useful forms, and assessment tools, this book provides a clear roadmap to effective teacher evaluation systems that combine quality assurance with professional development for all teachers.
